Constructions has been awarded the $49.4 million
design and construct
contract for the transformation of the
Mitchell Freeway.
The widening works to one of
Perth’s most critical corridors involves the construction of an
additional lane for seven kilometres between Cedric Street and Vincent
Street to better connect Perth’s northern suburbs to the CBD.
With the Mitchell Freeway carrying some of the highest traffic demands
in Perth, up to 180,000 vehicles per day, this project is vital to
reducing congestion and bottlenecks for southbound traffic.
Since our
Western Australia division opened over three years ago, BMD
Constructions has successfully delivered 11 infrastructure upgrades for
Main
Roads in communities across Western Australia. The award of this
vital
freeway upgrade builds on BMD’s infrastructure capacity in the
west. BMD will work closely with Main Roads and partners to ensure
best-for-project outcomes for local businesses, residents and commuters.
The project forms part of Main Roads’ overall plan to transform Perth’s
freeways to accommodate population and economic growth into the future.
The contract is funded by the Western Australian and Australian
governments.
